If you follow the links, you’ll see that it’s essentially a new name for/ release of CBL-Mariner. from the GitHub readme:

CBL-Mariner is an internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure and edge products and services.

Thanks

Thanks

And if my work use gitlab and I don’t code at weekends?

The thing is the VS code handles everything (with extensions). If I want to use pandoc, or CSV to markdown table, python linting, Go, whatever, there’s extensions that can handle all of these equally well and consistently, for example format on save.

If I want to use jetbrains then the pycharm for python, intelliJ for Java, Goland for golang… Then there’s licencing depending on whether I’m using a personal licence or corporate laptop, whether I have to get a licence from my employer etc.

For me it’s not so much that it’s so good, but that it works with everything in a consistent and obvious way plus I can install it on any machine I might be using.

I’d check that you’re actually installing the most appropriate package. For instance on Ubuntu there’s kid3 which is a MP3 tag application that will pull in the entire k desktop environment. Or you can install kid3-qt which packages its own version of those dependencies and doesn’t pull an entire desktop environment in if you’re using a non-kde environment.

‘just’? 2018 was five years ago

Link is broken?

I’m afraid that with this sort of approach you’re unlikely to get what you’re asking for. AFAIK LemmyConnect has a single developer and it’s an open source project that isn’t paid. As a developer with a small open source project myself I’ve dealt with this style of request myself. Here are my red flags that you might like to address:

• Doesn’t bother to identify developer or developers
• Doesn’t try to identify project’s preferred feature request route
• Doesn’t try to find out if feature is already on roadmap or requested or available elsewhere
• Doesn’t try to find out if feature is relevant to project or to base protocol
• Takes an arrogant attitude with ‘LMAO’/‘LOL’ etc
• Claims feature ‘trivial to implement’
• Doesn’t ask what would actually be needed to implement feature
• Considers themselves ‘a customer’ (or appears to)
• Doesn’t offer assistance

I see. So for comparison what do you see for this when you access lemmy via a desktop web browser?

That’s not how it works.

• You need to set up an account on a Lemmy instance and log into it using Connect.
• You can then subscribe to specific communities with that identity.
• If you want to have different types of feeds, set up different identities, ideally on different instances.
• ‘All’ is basically ‘new’ for everything that anyone on that instances subscribe to
• ‘Local’ is what’s new for that instance
• ‘Front page’ is what you are subscribed to
• If you check top right there are various sorting algorithms such as ‘hot’/ ‘active’/‘top’

Lemmy Connect allows you to filter communities and posts on regex, e.g. I filter (hide) communities containing any of the following:

/politics/, /news/, /memes/, /humor/, /hentai/, /liberal/, /communis/, /conservativ/, /socialis/, /reddit/, /cursed/, /monero/

Lemmy Connect has a block instance feature and a regex filter feature in beta

SystemD replaced a variety of Linux init systems across different distros almost 10 years ago now but it is still resented by a significant and vocal section of the Linux community.

Devuan is a fork of the Debian Linux distribution that uses sysvinit, runit or OpenRC instead of systemd.

Realistically, at this point, non-SystemD distros are of niche interest. Devuan is one of the distros available in that niche
